[FIXED] How to check the VPS server's RAM speed?

Issue

How to check the Linux VPS's RAM speed? Actually as per my VPS plan, I am supposed to get 2GB RAM, but I doubt that I am getting only 128MB. Please help me in finding the server's RAM speed.

Solution

If you want to know the amount of memory (wich seems more probable) you have available, not the speed of RAM, then consider using command free.

free -m

This will give you the ammount of memory you have available and memory in use, in MB.

Or if you really want to see your RAM speed then this might help

sudo lshw -short -C memory
